Looks like a fun place. They have four flat screen tv's three for sports and the other runs Forrest Gump.

FYI, they do charge for parking.

Is Garden Walk open already?
Sounds cool.

Yeah, um, any place with TV's playing anything is completely OUT as far as my restaurant choices go.

Not to be snobbish or anything. But screens just grab the unwitting attention of just about everyone, and that's not the environment I want for a social situation.

And if I don't want a meal to be a social situation, I can save plenty of money by not eating in a restaurant.

But, hey, it was nice to see something open at the Garden Walk when I cruised by there the other day. Something of a surprise, since most of it still looks to be under the most preliminary construction. Maybe something more worthwhile will open there soon. I could certainly use some more restaurant options in the Resort district. (There will be monorail service, right??)

I've eaten at the Citywalk one and the aquarium one. I didn't notice any tvs and I really enjoyed the meal. I don't like the movie, either, but its presence was limited to artifacts, which seemed pretty neutral and did not annoy me. There was a bench at the front where you could pretend to be Forrest, but I could ignore that.

I liked that all the servers would help you if you needed something, and you could signal them with the sign at the table.

Spring '08 is the scheduled grand opening for Garden Walk proper. This is apparently a fishy appetizer.

And anything else I have to say is pretty much echoing what's been said. Boo chains, boo TV's that I am incapable of ignoring. Me wants good, unique dining experiences, damnit.

Ah, well, I personally loved the movie! It is a family favorite.

We have been to Monterey many times {I've never considered eating at a different location...} but never went A} because of the lines and B} the family was probably going to eat burgers so I refused to go to a seafood restaurant for burgers.

But, on our last road trip, the movie playing over and over in the hotel room was, you guessed it, Forrest Gump. Our 13 year old son hadn't really seen it before and he got into it and enjoyed it.

As a treat for him, who is willing to try different foods, we took him to Bubba Gumps. We sat outside, a great view of the ocean, some adorable baby sea gulls, and, great service.

The card you mentioned, alphabassettgrrl, was cool.

We bought the boys t-shirts and I also got an 'I Love Jenny' shirt {my daughters name is Jeni}.

It was a fun experience, the food was pretty good, we weren't disappointed.

I don't think I would go to the one at Garden Walk, I liked the fact we were in Monterey. And, that it coincided with the fun we had sharing the movie.

Will we go again? Hard to tell. One thing I will say, some people sure don't think. We walked up to a line of people, I stood at the end and told the Hubster to go up and make sure if we needed to put our name down or what. Well, we did have to and guess how many people had to get out of line to do it themselves? Our wait was pretty short.

I'm just curious. So far, this poster has exactly two posts and both include the link.

Does the LoT allow free advertising?

We haven't expressly forbidden it, but if it becomes a problem we'll act accordingly - after all we didn't create these boards to write policy statements.

I would suggest that if you have a problem with this poster, you contact them directly instead of talking about them in the third person in a public forum, or contact us directly if you don't want to do that.

Kevy just wants to advertise his porn.
